Quote from: p1tchblack on July 14, 2021, 02:52:07 PMA federal sales tax would be ideal, if it came with a constitutional amendment to lock it in at a specific, appropriate rate.

It might happen, but it would be in addition to the income tax which we now enjoy. No way in hell is congress going to give up the awesome power they enjoy by deciding who to reward and who to punish by stealing their money. Tax breaks to some also allows the government to set rules for those who benefit from the tax breaks.(sound familiar) Not to forget the IRS is one of the biggest enforcers for the democrat agenda.

Quote from: Solars Toy on July 14, 2021, 02:46:07 PMI worked in the Welfare department (Internal Security)  We monitored payments to make sure our employees were not doing anything illegal. 

Welfare is often generational - when Mama stops being able to have babies it was often their teenage daughters who would come in pregnant. So either they still lived with Mama or Mama raised the grandbabies.  I remember one Russian family had 14 kids - food stamps alone was well over $1,600 a month.  Add to that the schooling scam (I jokingly told one of my daughters to get pregnant so her schooling would be covered), the Welfare Aid money, MediCal, and my last few years there rent assistance. (Another big scam.)  Welfare is a money maker if you work the system correctly.  Toy

My family learned this the hard way. We had a family who was 'in need'. Long story short, they stayed with us for awhile and then when we called out the father for child abuse the police sided with him(hes a very good conman) but the mom went to jail for outstanding warrants in other states. However it lead to good because due to the hardship of us not giving them a place to stay anymore and him beating her she finally left him(turns out non of the kids were his anyways) and soon after the kids were taken from her, but all down in NM, far from us. I am still in contact with the kids and they are doing better. However with our culture as sexually charged as it is I still wouldnt be surprised if the daughters got pregnant in highschool.

My point being they really knew how to game the system, and not just the system but regular charity as well like churches and such, tho they were better at policing themselves.

No.

Looks like the wheels are starting to turn..

Here We Go: Major Texas Democrat Stripped of Leadership Post for Fleeing the State

State Rep. Joe Moody (D-El Paso) has been stripped of his position as speaker pro tem in the Texas House following his decision to flee the state in order to stymie the ongoing special session that Gov. Greg Abbott called.

This is going to be fun to watch. I'm not going to be critical of the TX democrats as it could be an omen for the GOP senate members if necessary. It is my understanding that VP's 51st vote is moot of there is not a quorum in the senate. With a 50/50 split if all GOP senators are not present there is no quorum for Schumer to ram  something through if Manchin and Sinema roll over on the filibuster.

My bet is that nobody is going to be arrested.  It's political games/gamesmanship.

I would love to see the carnage if Abbott actually did arrest them.

the dems would throw a hissy fit and that would be about it.  You will not see your favorite terrorist groups, antifa/blm try their rioting crap here, it will not be put up with.

Yet the left pushes dropping the Filibuster? Do you ever think things through?
The left just exposed their hypocrisy and they're going to pay, because your media won't be able to ignore the truth..

I'm not saying there shouldn't be consequences for skirting your job.  I'm just saying he doesn't have the balls to arrest them.

You should not judge others by your lack of balls. 

They have to come back at some time.  And they will be forced to do there jobs.  Like it or not, time is on his side.

I don't think he has much option, these scum need to pay, at least for stealing from the taxpayer to pull this shit stunt.
They used taxpayer money to charter a flight, are sitting in hotels at taxpayer-funded per diem as well as eating on their dime, while poking fun at their constituency, and all for what? They don't want to do their job?

See, this is what happens when you're forced to read the truth, as opposed to your medias spin.
They fucked up!

This story isn't being ignored/hidden in the media.  While I agree that consequences may be in order, he doesn't have the balls to arrest them.

Do you even know what arrest means? That's means detention, blocking ones means of leaving a scene.
They will be arrested, especially if they keep this charade up.

JUST IN - Texas House votes to send law enforcement to find the dozens of absent Democrats, "under warrant of arrest if necessary," for blocking voter integrity legislation.

These Dems in the USA and Texas arguing to keep the Covid Election Rules around post-Covid is sort of like continuing to allow the BLM loser crowd to continue looting stores. The Dems snaked their way into changing election laws with Covid as cover and they acted just like their BLM voter base. It's time for We The People to put a stop to all this BS.

The left is destroying this country. If PITCHBLACK REFUSES to acknowledge that while he continues to peddle the same Fake News talking points, why not cast him off. He is useless. I am sick of the Dems and their LIBTARDED thought processes. I fail to see any "entertainment value" in liberals that are also morons.

I sense your frustration and I agree. The Dems continue to bath EVERY media source they can with Ads telling everyone to be "vaccinated". The more Ads I see and the more they push it, the more suspicious I become. I am to the point now where I won't even watch their propaganda anymore. When an Ad comes on, I change the channel. I never watch the "news" anymore as the lies are such that it's all propaganda, there is never any real "news".

I would also agree that I don't find the Dems brainwashing particularly entertaining. I have to wonder what sort of dunderhead doesn't see what is happening?

The Dems seem to be on a rampage to stamp out self defense. What are the regular people supposed to do? Allow our law enforcement to be "defunded"? Our borders to be non-existent? Our statues and monuments to be destroyed by rage mobs? Our cities to become trash heaps? Our schools to become indoctrination and brainwashing sites? Our Constitution to be thrown out or become a living document that is amended at the Dems every whim? Our rights done away with? Minorities to be segregated again?
